About This Book

A collection of essays investigates the nature and continuity of maritime power, clarifying its different meanings and urging revision of common misunderstandings. The pieces examine the relationship between naval forces and commercial shipping, reassess practices such as impressment, consider projected invasions and coastal raids, and survey fleet contributions to imperial defence. Other essays analyse naval strategy and tactics in decisive encounters, the logistics and communications that sustain fleets, and the interplay between sea and land forces, presenting maritime strength as an enduring and integral element of a nation’s broader historical development.
